I don't know if Parsadanian's 1st Symphony 'In Memory of the Commissars of Baku' is in the set but that IMO is a hidden gem.

I like the Parsadanian.  It reminds me somewhat of Gliere.

Yes, good point.

Unfortunately, that set doesn't include any Parsadanian symphony (only a tone poem 'David of Sassoun'), but you gave me an excuse to listen to those symphonies!
Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

No 2 is better known but I much prefer the one commemorating the commissars of Baku.
